Best Place to purchase!

What is the best state to purchase a 70-72 Blazer in? I guess what I'm asking is what state would have the best condition blazers of that year or any older vehicles.

And of course why?

Turner,

It really depends on how they were maintained. I just picked up a rust free 69 that lived in Colorado and Wyoming and now currently resides in Utah.

But if I had to guess, California, Arizona and southern dry warm states are probably your best bet.

Utah, Calif, Nevada, New Mexico. Think west/southwest. Dry climates = less rust.

Even though it's a little "wet" up here in Washington State... there is a lot less rust in vehicles than you would think.
